Free Trade.

The reduction of internal reve-
nue. and the taking off of revenue
stamps from Proprietary Medi
cines, no doubt has largely bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home man
ufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower
and Boschee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby
giving one-ffth more medicine in
rne - :, =.
Flower for dyspepsia and liver
complaint, and the German Syrup
for coughs and lung troubles, have
perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines In the world. The adj
vantage of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every
town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents
the same size. III
